Speaking AS a teacher, Grace's "school" has always made me chuckle. Clearly no one on Pandora is checking teacher certification, since even with a doctorate, Grace would not technically be qualified to teach English as a Second Language. Seriously, basic ESOL endorsement is sixty something hours worth of classes, while someone teaching English Lit (like myself) needs 300 hours.

In my mind, Grace would fill more of a principal role, with actually qualified teachers existing along side her/under her supervision. This helps explain the "winning the hearts and minds" bit of the program, since scientists really wouldn't be the best at doing that.
